Haudrauf1962 vs. GKar just ended with Haudrauf's Axis surrendering in Summer 1943 with Allied troops piling up in the Low Countries and Kyushu. The match wasn't as one-sided as it may seem though, but at one point my WAllies simply had a run. Thanks for an interesting match!

GKar vs. Forwarn45 is still in 1942 and progressing slowly due to real life - the next absence will go on me.

Just to let you guys now- my game vs Mike is close to an end... we are well into ´44, the game was/is great! Mike managed to hit 67 watermark, and I guess it´s too soon yet to predict outscore, but I´m hopping for a allies minor victory or a draw

Tica has been away for some time, once when the tournament started and the other one last week, 2 weeks in total, so that has delayed this game. Also some weekends I'm out of town. The last turn I sent him (I'm allies) was Su43 on February the 23rd. So we are now in Fa43. For most of the times I answer the same day I get a reply.

Mike and me are in ´45 now... I landed on Japan this turn and next might be the last... (I forgot which turn that will be, I think fall ´45... or summer...) This was a great game for me..., Mike managed to reach 67 watermark and if my SU spies on the beginning had not saw Japan early and mass Carrier build up he would caught me by surprise... This way I responded on time...

My game with Mike is over. Mike has posted result on wargamer. Great game Mike! I must be honest and admit that I didn´t see myself in 2-nd round...(especially when Jan destroyed me) But now... maybe I can even do better then that.

Tica (axis) and me (allies) are almost done with the game, just sent him fa45 turn, Italy has surrendered and so has Japan after atomic raids, Germany is cornered but has a big army. The game should end within two or three turns.

Mrquiet how does the match for the second round work? Could you list all players that have passed to 2nd round and those left behind? I think my game is the last

I remember reading a post saying something about Christian not having an internet connection for a couple weeks. If I have the time, I'll look for the thread. But once Tica and RJH are done - we will at least know everyone who is in Round 2. The only other remaining games are Christian and Avatar (both of which already won a game and are in Round 2) and my game with Gkar (again both of us already won a game and are in Round 2). By the way, I just sent the Allied fall turn to Gkar for Round 1 - so we are now into 1944 in that game!

Nice to see you both make it into round2. There are 2 games still running in round1 but the Round2 list is finalized with all players and games listed. I believe that this weekend will make 2 months that round1 has been running, time to wrap those games up boys and girls.

I need to hear from Christian Brown by Noon GMT Sunday March 11 or I am going to have to mark him MIA and give his Round2 spot to a elimanted player that is interested (via random drawing if more than one show interest).

I dont want to but he has not sent a turn in 3 weeks and there is no indication if/when he will again. 'the show must go on'

It's too bad Christian hasn't checked in - I'd like to see him in the next round. But if you continue, I'd humbly suggest you just drop that position from the line-up. Since Tica and RJH had a draw, there are still 10 in the next round. And with the "win or draw one" rule, there is a good chance of the tourny going for a while anyway. It might be nice to include someone if they lost some close games - but it looks like most games in the first round were fairly decisive. Just my 2 cents.

Christian has bowed out of the tournament due to changeing computer platforms.

MikeMcMann and Haudrauf1962 both replied with interest in replacing him. I rolled some online dice which emailed the results to Mike and Haudrauf and after 2 tie rolls Haudrauf1962 has won a second chance in the tournament.

Ok all the games from round1 are wrapped up now. Please have a look at your scores and make sure I have not made any mistakes.

Mr.Quiet, Though I do not know why, I see that you have posed a question under opponents wanted, even though I can't actually see the post here......I think you are asking if I am definitively out of the tourney: the answer is yes. As a certain 5 star once said: "I shall return" but only after a new ladder tourney has been created and I purchase 1) a windows based system, or 2) purchase compatibility software for this Mac.

I guess I could have saved your time and just said; "I surrender!"
